The day was, overall, a waste. Which is no good. I basically sat inside on the internet all day and did nothing. And my terrible American roommate slept until 7.30pm. Don't know what that's about. And now he just came in and lied down on his bed. But I'm ignoring him and leaving the light on and typing really loudly Whatever. ТАК ИЛИ ИНАЧЕ.

As for things that I did OUTSIDE today, I went to get some money and then saw Lauren on my way back to the dorms, and she took me to the universam to buy groceries. Even though I'm moving out soon, I still need to eat, so I went with her, and lo and behold, I found these FANTASTIC little delicious treats that I had been eating at Maneka's house. They're like, small fudge squares that taste mildly caramel and mildly nutty. I have no idea what they're called. They're great for holding in your mouth while you sip hot tea. Mmm.

Then I made myself some steamed broccoli and sausage. Mmmm.

Went with the program children to a Lebanese restaurant, which was EXCELLENT, then we went to a bar afterwards, where I drank absinthe. They had this strange ritual with it where they set it on fire then I had to breathe the fumes, but I did it incorrectly and the woman got angry with me. Later it was pointed out to me that snorting alcohol can cause serious brain damage, so I am quite glad that I did not understand. Anyway, I shotted it. And that was the end of that. Now I just get foul tasting alcohol fumes coming up my throat. Just washed it down with tea and tasty treats, and now I think I'm going to bed.

Tomorrow, however, is shopping time, and then TSENTRAL'NAYA STANTSIYA. We'll see how that goes.
